"How did you feel when you saw your mother drunk?" This was one of the questions on a survey of 8000 Manitoba high school students. "I thought it was funny' said some. "Dis- gusting' said others. This little known survey, sponsored by the Manitoba Alcohol Education Service, presents the first graphic picture of what Canadian teenagers think about liquor and perhaps, more importantly, what they actually know about it. "We found ignorance of inundating proportions" reported a Manitoba researcher. Ostrander and Schroeder, writing in the cur- rent issue of QUEST, Canada's Magazine for Parents (the official publication of Canadian Home and School and Parent - Teacher Fed- eration), say that thanks to the highly - trained men and women in government - backed foun- dations in almost every province, we know a lot about liquor. But this understanding doesn't seem to have filtered through to teenagers. Practically every teenager today will at least try liquor; most, like 65% of their fellow Cana- dians, will become drinkers. Before you can get kids to listen to the facts about alcohol, you have to connect with them on their own wavelength. To tune in to this wavelength, Ontario has come up with a much ballyhooed and applauded advertising campaign. They've tried comic books, newspaper ads, and even a Totonto folk rock group. Ontario will soon be spending some $18 mil- lion to try to cope with its 100,000 alcoholics. (The cost of alcoholism in all of Canada is rapidly exceeding the 1 1/2 billion dollar mark of national defense, and the families of alcoholics are quickly outnumbering the combined population of Nova Scotia and the Yukon) Prevention through education is an economic as well as humane matter. Provinces such as Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. feel they're doing a more effective, if less swinging job in reaching teen- agers on a small fraction of what Ontario spends. The main push in these provinces is to send alcohol education specialists into every classroom in the province, to talk personally with students in grade 7 to 12.

Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Matthew Dy- mond, roundly condemns visits of experts to the classroom. "Outsiders have no right to invade the school making speeches", he said in the Provincial Legislature. Which approach is better? How and what sort of school education is getting across to teen- agers? A substantial section on alcohol is included in Ontario's new health curriculum. The province dumps the problem of alcohol in the lap of the school teacher. But in Manitoba, says Mr. Potoroka, "generally speaking we've found tea- chers unwilling, unable or unprepared to teach undistorted facts about alcohol. Some want to crusade for temperance. Others feel they don't know enough about the subject to get involved in so touchy an area." The western provinces try to send a specialist into every class during school hours. Dis- cussions are often thrown open to students to gather reasons for drinking and reasons for not drinking. "It's the in thing to do," kids point out; "in the business world it's a neces- sity; teenagers drink to show off and act like adults; drinking can make you an alcoholic; it can lead to wild or drunken driving; it tastes good; it helps you unwind; it's fattening", -- reasons pile up. A parent's reaction to an alcoholic is particu- larly important. A teenager growing up in a society that damns its alcoholics will be slow to admit to, or seek help for symptoms of alcoholism that one day may crop up in him- self or friends. In many parts of Canada, alcoholics are treated like criminals. Not at; other countries are so barbaric. How well is Canada equipping youth to move safely and comfortably in a world where they will invariably encounter liquor? Right now, we are not doing well enough, says the QUEST article. Alcohol will confront teenagers everywhere from business meetings to wedding receptions. For the majority who will decide to drink, it's long past time to give them an image of the "thinkings man's way to drink". Did You Know That The Canada Centenary Festival of Music will be held in St. John N. B., next July.

March 23rd, 1967 An Organized Attempt To Split Twp. Over the past few weeks ratepayer groups within Pickering Township have been meet- ing together discussing the pros and cons of splitting the urban and rural sections of the township. Members from the north and the south agree that the time has come for definite steps to be taken and a complete study made of the feasibility of this line of action. The gallery of the Council chambers was filled on Monday evening with delegates for the various ratepayer groups, each group providing a spokesman. Professor E.E. La Brie speak- ing on behalf on the North Pickering Ratepay- er's Association was first to speak, stating that a petition has been circulated among re- sidents of School Area No. 1 asking the Min- ister of Municipal Affairs to study the internal problems of this township, giving particular attention to the advisability of creating an ur- ban municipality and a rural municipality. "This petition now carries in the neighbourhood of 2,000 signatures of persons eligible to vote in municipal elections" stated Mr. LaBrie. He went on to ask that a Committee be organized to advise this Council on the question of division and to charge the Committee with the responsi- bility of (a) drawing up its own terms of reference for investigation, and (b) recommend- ing to Council a logical approach to the problem. Professor La Brie concluded his remarks by saying tnat "this matter of township division is of immediate importance and we urge that investigation of the topic should not be delayed. The ratepayers of the Northern part of this township are at a point of demanding govern- ment action along the lines of division. I would further submit that their demands should not be deferred or thrust aside but rather that the matter be examined carefully and ex- plored thoroughly with the aid of interested persons while emotional feeling on this question is still within our power to control". Reeve Laycox replied to Prof. LaBrie that during his term of office he had given a great deal of thought to this subject. He said that although there had been alot of talk about div- ision no one had given good reasons for div- ision. Can the South do without the North and can the North do without the South" he asked. As an individual he stated that he would not support splitting the township, and said that the trend was for larger municipalities and certainly not for smaller areas than exist now.

King of the West Shore Association and Mr. Don Kitchen of Bay Ridges Ratepayers. Southern area groups were com- pletely in accord with the division, providing the dividing line be the 3rd Concession. LI Mr. John Kruger, President of the West Rouge :Ratepayers' Association, summed up the gen- eral feeling among the groups, as follows .... "It is may pleasure to support without quali- fication, the Brief presented by Mr. LaBrie wherein the urgent plea is mad that a feasi- bility study be initiated regarding the question of the political division of Pickering Township." "it is also my pleasure to support those speak- ers who have suggested that the southern limit of bylaw 3037 be the discussion line for the study of division." The remarks of the speakers who have pre- ceded me and the number of spectators in the gallery tonight is concrete evidence of an orga- nized request to Council made by representatives from all sections of this Township. Ina way, we are witnesses here to an event which is somewhat unique in the more recent history of our Township. For the first time the major rural and urban ratepayer groups are in com- plete accord on a common goal - a logical inquiry into division. It is to the credit of the ratepayers participating in our recent meet- ings that an emotional issue such as this was debated in so calm and reasoned a way. I can assure this Council that although the ur- ban and rural representatives at our meet- ings held and still hold completely different views on certain points, this has not imperil- led our ability to quietly talk together and give cognizance to each other's point of view. Understandably two questions will be stimu- lated as a result of the events tonight. Who organized the effort and why? The who is very simply answered, for I personally must take full responsibility. However, to explain why it was organized, it is necessary for me to briefly review some recent history. In this township the topic of division is like a cracked record -- we have reached the point where we are sick of hearing it. Before Bay Ridges was completely developed the residents of West Rouge attempted to amal- gamate with Scarborough and separate from Pickering. The attempt failed. Scarborough was unimpressed and Pickering Township op- posed the petition for it needed the assess- ment in West Rouge. Also, the rural rate- payers did not support the principle of divi- sion at that time. After Bay Ridges was developed, the debate on division was revived by the active Bay Ridges Ratepayers' Association. Events reach- ed an emotional pitch at a public meeting in the Dunbarton High School in 1964 and an at- tempt was made to organize a strong move- ment to back the concept of dividing the Town- ship. I was at that meeting and I saw that attempt also fail. Once again there was no support from the rural ratepayers and to my knowledge only two West Rouge residents at- tended the meeting. In February of 1967, I was approached by the President of the North Pickering Ratepayers' Association who indicated to me that his or- ganization, which was rural oriented, had now reluctantly reached the conclusion that divi- sion of the Township was necessary. He re- vealed certain facts to me, the essential essence of which were covered in the Brief presented by Mr. LaBrie. I was impressed with his obvious determination to see this matter through to a positive conclusion. I was even more impressed by the fact that approximately 40% of the people in the rural area had signed a petition in favour of division. I can say publicly and without reservation, that I was convinced that the rural ratepayers were at the point of demanding Government ac- tion along the lines of division. As an urban ratepayer, I was quite concerned about these events particularly as the movement for division of the Township had taken a signi- ficant turn. Quite clearly the initiative. was coming now from the oldest residents of the Township, the rural dwellers - those residents who emotionally would find division a most distasteful blow. There was another side to this problem. If the southern urban residents sat back and did nothing and if the rural residents obtained division on their own terms, the urban dweller might be left at a disadvant- age. To my mind, it was ridiculous to contem- plate a division without the involvement of all residents of our Township for this was a problem concerning every ratepayer of Pickering, not one factional group, and when I discussed this with the President of the North Pickering Ratepayers' Association, I was relieved and delighted tofind that he shared a similar view. However, we both recognized that we were only two people and although we were capable ourselves of amicable discussion, there remained the ques- tion as towhether or not other ratepayers were so capable. It is enough to say that our fears were un- founded_ My associates and I in the West Rouge Ratepayers' Association arranged a ser- ies of meetings between the ratepayer groups which have appeared here tonight and in addi- tion from time to time, individual ratepayers were invited to attend. The latter were either professionally or politically qualified to answer questions which we needed to have clarified. The culmination of these meetings is our appearance here tonight. It is my own private observation, which I believed is supported by the Brief presented by Mr. LaBrie, that our meetings brought forth three important points of agreement: 0 I. The rural and urban ratepayers agreed that the elected representatives of the whole Township, this Council, was the proper body through which an application to the O.M.B. might be channelled. The rural and urban ratepayers also agreed that any division would have to prove that the separate rural and urban area created were economically viable. Of necessity, this was a financial question involving the assembly of much data. It was sufficient- ly complex that Council would need the help of a committee to guide it. The urban ratepayers agreed that to permit logical discussion of the divi- sion question, a reasonable dividing line at this time appeared to be the southern limit of Bylaw 3037. n L J It is the opinion of our Association that until the suggested committee is formed, until facts are assembled and analyzed, until all of the variables in this complicated question are ex- plored, until all this is done, no final decision can be made. For too long there has been a tendancy to ex- press opinions on Division based on inadequate research. The time has now come to sharpen our pencils, dig into the assessment rolls, consult with the Department of Municipal Affairs (and other Government agencies) andfindoutfor certain what this problem is all about. It is the economic viability question, the need for the urban areas to have land for residential and industrial expansion, and the need to protect the rural ratepayer from paying for urban services which he doesn't want and will never be able to use, it is these matters which are the central questions.

During 1966, Pickering Township Council elect- ed to join the newly fromed Central Ontario Regional Development Association. The decision to join the Association was the subject of lengthy argument will crop up again this year. Membership to the Association cost Pickering Township $1,250 during 1966. On Monday evening the President of C.O.R. D.A., Mr. D. Lewington of Bay Ridges, appear- ed before Council and presented a 12 minute film outlining the functions of the association, and explained later that 1966 had been a year for organization. He advised that an increase of six municipalities over last year had in- dicated a desire for membership and that four out of eighteen municipalities in Ontario County had joined. Councillor Williams commented that the organization of a body such as this takes a little longer than one year, and he said "I do not think that anybody expected to see a line up on the 401 of industry and commerce as a result of our joining the association last year. I would ask the support of all members of this council, this isn't going to make us or break us in a year such as this and I think it can help us in the future." Replying, Deputy Reeve MacPherson stated that Council had agreed to be affiliated with this organization -- "we were told it would be $1,250, before the year was up I attended a meeting, heard a brief read from the platform, where Pickering Township's share was $2,500 this year. I would like to see some results from our $1,250 before I am willing to sit and see our taxpayers pay anything further in the organization. We have had no results from it. While $1,250 isn't a great deal of money, the position we are in this year as taxpayers, we cannot take any further expense that we are not goint to benefit from. Councillor Williams moved a motion to renew membership but the motion was lost with Reeve Laycox, Deputy Reeve McPherson, Councillors Beer, Spang and Waller opposing. Concluding, Mr. Lewington commented that he didn't think that this municipality fully realized the impact of not joining. it*****�tk*yt*ytyt,t* Approve 1400 Sq. Ft. House Building Construction of a residence of less than 2,000 sq.ft. is prohibited in Pickering Township on agriculturally zoned land, unless the residence is for use by a farmer. On Monday, March 20th, Mr. W. Wojtasieqiez asked Council to grant him permission to build a 1,400 sq.ft. home on his 18 acres. He explain- ed that the residence would be used by only he and his wife and that 2,000 sq.ft. living area was more than what they required. He also explained that at the moment he is working at General Motors but that it was his intention to eventually make his living by working the 18 acres. This application was put before Planning Board on March 2nd at which time permission was refused. Councillor Williams stated at Monday night's Council Meeting that he felt that Council should stand by decisions made by the Planning Board and he also feared that if this request was granted then Council -would be receiving dozens of similiar requests. Reeve Laycox explained that Planning Board had turned down the application as Mr. Wo- jtasiewiez had not been a farmer in the past in Canada (although he had been born and raised on a farm in the old country). Deputy Reeve MacPherson stated that she was willing for him to build when he appeared be- fore Planning Board, and went on to say that it is VERY difficult to prove that you are a farmer, and that young people and new people in the country generally do not have the money to build a 2,000 sq.ft. home. "He has to do something to the land or it will be a burden to him" she said. Councillor Spang moved a motion that Mr. Wojtasiewiez be permitted to build a 1,400 sq.ft. house contrary to the zoning bylaw, stat- in[ that "in some cases we have to be a little bit flexible". The motion was carried with Councillors Chatten and Williams voting against. Thurs.

Irwin — From Parcelling To Publishing Coming from a book - loving family in Toronto, John C.W. Irwin, founder in 1946 of The Book Society of Canada Limited, a publishing house, (in Agincourt since 1954) has come full circle - his first job as a teenager was wrapping books for the T. Eaton Co. This parcelling job was followed by the selling of books to farmers in the Smith Falls area. Later, a managerial position with The Macmil- lan Company brought him into contact with W.H. Clarke; and together they formed Clarke, Irwin and Co., Publishers, in Toronto. Somewhere in the spaces between the books, so to speak, Mr. Irwin graduated in Forestry from the University of Toronto; spent some time in Forestry as a fire specialist in northern On- tario and Quebec; and also spent sometime in insurance in New York City - where he decided against becoming an American citizen and re- turned to Toronto and more books. The Book Society, specializing in educational publications, many of which are approved by the Ontario Dept. of Education, has averaged 12 books a year since 1960. They are currently working on a Reading Series edited by B.L. Davidge, Scarborough's assistant superintend- ent `of elementary schools; C.S. Lougheed, In- spector of Schools, and Mrs. Dianne Pappas, a former Sca.tborough teacher. Its purpose will be to teach reading to first, second and third graders and will consist of readers, teachers' manuals. and student workbooks. In his publishing business, Mr. Irwin is now assisted by two sons. John and James. "They Hydro's tall trucks A new breed of -tall trucks- is mak- ing giants of Ontario Hydro's linemen and foresters. Aerial lifts, often called skyhooks. cherry pickers of bucket trucks, are contributing more to the electrical utility industry than almost any other mechanical dcvi« developed in the last 50 years. Tbeir impact has been compared to that of the computer. Hydro uses truck -mounted aerial lifts for line maintenance. construction and forestry work, and new uses are being found for them every day. Already a common sight along Ontario road- sides, these lanky giants will become even more familiar in the years to come. Aerial lifts come in many shapes and sizes, but mounted on trucks their use is limited to fairly accessible areas. Now Hydro is mounting a few units on "off-road vehicles--rubber-tired logging tractors that an go almost am%►1here. Hvdro's tallest trucks are competition was keen. The winners were, Jr. Elementary Joanne Garner, sponsored by the Rouge Hill Branch. Sr. Elementary was Terry Quinney, Jr. Se- condary was Sandra Clark and Sr. Secon- dary was Allison Mac - Bean, the latter three were sponsored by the Bay Ridges Branch. These contestants are now entered at the District Level, this competition will take place at Brighton, On- tarion on April 8th. The Zone competition was conducted by Mr. Ron Murchie, Zone Chairman for Public Speaking. The Zone Commander, Mr. Jim Woodward gave the opening address and presented the tro- phies.

With a philosophical change of pace in the con- versation, he noted that the years when one is known for oneself seem to be few. "First you are somebody's son, then somebody's husband, and finally somebody's father." According to this white-haired bibliophile, pro- ducing a book for possible school use is a gam- ble - of the writer's time and the publisher's cash - until the manuscript is finally printed and bound. Usually it is only then that education officials will pass judgement as to whether or nor it can be included in an approved list. Sometimes a publisher will request a manu- script on a certain subject from an expert in that field; sometimes a writer will suggest a subject to the publisher or present a complete manuscript; the publisher's function is to care- fully edit, illustrate, supervise the production, and promote the new book. Years ago, there was only one textbook ap- proved for each subject and grade in Ontario. But now a teacher has a choice of several, sometimes half a dozen. It is recognized that a teacher may be able to communicate a sub- ject more vividly through the writings of one author than another with the result that the pupil may learn better or more easily. How long does it take for a manuscript to be- come. a book? "About six months of editing, art work and printing for the most simple pro- ject," said Mr. Irwin. "A complex text or series of books may take five or more years to bring to completion. 50 -footers, but 65-, 85- and even 95 - foot ones will soon be available. Efficiency has crated the bucket -truck boom. For example, two foresters equipped with an aerial lift an do the work of four without. The in- sulated bucket allows men to work in safety close to power lines- or to actually handle live lines with bare hands while doing some maintenance tasks. Thus power interruptions for maintenance purposes are reduced. Sections of lite difficult to get to by outer meam are easily reached with an aerial lift, thereby speeding up and simplifying the job. Bucket trucks give the men a new interest and enthusiasm for their work. The effect is roughly the same as giv- ing a boy a power mower to cut the grass or a snow -bower to clear the drive. The devices are also proving a boon to older linemen and foresters. Nor- mally, the first part of the body which gives out on men who climb for a living is their kgs. Bucket trucks, in effect, provide new -std longer - ones. With an aerial lift the ability to climb is not necessary and the active working life of older, experienced men is extended considerably. Tall trucks give Hydros linemen and foresters a real boost in their daily work - both physically and mentally -and help them to provide and main- tain better electrical service in Ontario. ******** ** Tractor -mounted aerial bucket doesn't need roads.

I use the latter and have excellent results. I place the tubers in the flat about an inch apart and leave the tops exposed with nothing covering them. Just in case you are puzzled which is the top, it is the hollow or side with a dent in it. They need lots of bottom ,beat fora quick start and don't need the light until shoots appear, so I place mine on top of the furnace. When shoots appear, 1 move them to a warm sunny window which happens to face west. Not all begonias will grow at the same rate of growth and conse- Landscaping Ellis Nurseries will be engaged to land- scape the Pickering Township Municipal Building grounds at a cost of $3,662.60. Gardening In An Apartment You don't have to be a homeowner to enjoy gardening. You are definitely limited to space but why not try growing your own tomatoes? Available now are the punch and grow packages of Tom Thumb Tomatoes which are tiny and can be grown on your window sill when it comes time to transplant. If you have a balcony try Bonny Best, an old favourite. You can transplant these to pails or window boxes and after the 24th of May leave them out on the blacony. There is one thing, you are probably too high for the bees, but this can be overcome by rising AL chemical obtained from garden shops called Seed -less -set. You apply it when the plant is in full blossom and you can be sure of having to- matoes. In these packages you will find parsley, gera- niums, impatience flowers, and trees. Be sure and try some and see nature take its course. GARDEN PROBLEMS If you have any gar- den problems would you please address them to Garden Editor T he News, - Box 111, Agincourt and I will gladly answer them for you either in this column or by mail. quently you will find yourself potting some up while others haven't even started. Unless the tubers rot (usually from over - watering) leave it a- lone till it does start into growth. Put your tubers in 4" pots when the shoots are 3" tall and have a good root system. Potting mixture should be two parts soil, one part peat - moss or leafmouldand a sprinkling 'of sand. Add about 1 tbsp. of bone meal to 1 qt. of mixture and 1 tbsp. of dehydrated cow manure per qt. of mixture. They should be potted firmly, using your fingers to do so. Begonias like a cool temperature at this point so the growth does not get stragg- ly and weak. I usually move mine to an east window. Begonias should not be planted in the beds until the 1st of June. M, however, you live close to the lake and are well protected you can plant a week or so early, but be care- ful of a late frost. I find that although they love the shade, they grow except- ionally well on the east side of my home where they get full sun until m idday. Be sure and cover the soil with a good mulch to keep the roots cool. Peat moss, grass clippings, straw, well decayed manure and cocoa shells are ex- cellent for this. The hanging pendula begonias are lovely when planted in wire or plastic baskets. Line baskets with moss and fill with the above soil mixture. They will need more water, usually 2 - 3 times a day depending on how hot and dry the air Is, but they do appreciate a little moisture on the foliage. Keep all blooms picked off these be- gonias till they have developed a good strong healthy growth. The extra attention is well worth the effort for your own pleasure and the attention they Will receive from passer bys. Jamaica And Their Shops With so many people heading towards fabu- lous Jamaica these days, it is interesting to learn what you will find in the stores there. Women will be parti- cularly interested in the clothes which are displayed and one of the main features of a Jamaican "general store" is the large and colorful array of fab- rics. Canadian textiles are prominently display- ed, with gay prints in cotton and easy -care synthetics being amongst the favorites. Light weight knits are also popular. The government of that —government in the Sun" is encouraging the growth of the gar- ment industry, by for- bidding imports which might compete with lo- cal products. Dressmaking or home sewing still pro- duce the majority of the fashions worn by Jamaican women. Tourists, too, indulge in the clothes made by the island's fine need- le women. They can whip up a dress for as little as five or six dollars and often wait for customers, tape measure in hand, while prospective custom- ers survey the fabrics at open shops. Ready - made Jam- aican fashions are very reasonable. Most of the steadily increa- sing number of manu- manufacturers make dresses that sell for less than $16 and im- ports in that price range are forbidden. Because of the pover- ty and unemployment which are the island's most serious problem the Jamaican govern- ment regulations pro- tect any business which helps to create jobs for the local people. t Gay and colorful straw articles are found in the straw markets in Jamaica. The women, working with brilliantly color- ed straw, embroider designs on purses, sandles and many other articles. Tiny m i nature dolls can al- so be purchased in these straw markets. Fruit is abundant and reasonable, but you have to bargain with the shop - keepers. These fruit markets are comprised of many stalls and shoppers go from stall to stall looking for bargains. Canadian textiles are widely used in the gar- ment manufacturing industry in Jamaica, competing successful- ly against fabrics from Britain, Switzerland, the U.S.A. and Asia. Many Canadian textile mills have official re- presentatives in King- ston -- the hub of the business world in the West Indies. Thurs.

He comes from a long line o: military people statio:►ed in India. He was born there - in Cal- cutta, specifically "because that's where the hospital was." His father was an officer in the best Eton and Harrow tradition. Hugh, ac- cording to tradition, was sent to school in Eng- land at seven years old; saw his father again when he was 12, and the next time when he was 21. "My family lived the life that Kipling wrote about," he said. He joined the British Navy in World War 11; and when that stint was finished, worked his way aroind the world by utilizing his Navy knowledge. In the process of this. he became an assis- tant district officer in Africa during the Mau Mau uprising. "The acts Comm- °tied by the Mau Mau were indescribable, unbelievable," he said. "Robert Ruark wrote of it in "Some- thing Of Interest.' That's the way it was." He grimaced at the memories. The title Ruark chose for his book was the understatement of the age. On coming to Canada, he took up insurance selling; but feels that governme.it subsidies are making private insurance less profitable, more of a gamble for agents. He wanted some- thing quiet, rural, away from the hurley -burley he has known for so many years, and selling Singer products in Bay Ridges seemed to be it. But he still dreams Y. a place where he can have the rural and security withoit having to shovel snaw. Maybe some day? Shopping Mall Rejected By Council During the Council Meeting on Monday, March 20th, Councillor Beer moved the motion that zoning of Part Lot 23, Concession 1, be changed from Highway Commercial "C3" to General Commercial "C2". He was unable to get a seconder to the motion and the Reeve than "'handed over the hammer" to the Deputy Reeve in order that he may second the motion. The change in zoning would permit the erection of a shopping mall after municipal sewers and water were installed and after the access to the proposed shopping mall had been properly approved by the Department of Highways. The location in question is that portion north of the TePee Drive-in Theatre, south of Highway No.2, just west of Liverpool Road. Planning Director, Mr. Faulkner, stated that the Planning Board had considered the plans on two occasions but were concerned about ac- cessibility. fie stated that the applicants had prepared a detailed brief as to desirability, and the Township had indicated the land would he -000000000000000000 Hairdressing Bay Ridges (Cont'd from pg. 3) Ratepayers after graduation.

Hours during which private trade schools can offer instruction have been made more flexible. This will pro- vide an opportunity for employed persons to receive training after regular working hours. A new schedule of maximum rates to be charged patrons of hairdressing schools has been issued and will establish a price standard for all schools to follow. These rates will main- tain a level which covers cost of supplies but which prevents un- fair competition with salons.

" Upon a recorded vote the application to re- zone the site was turned down, with Councillors Spang, Chatten, Williams and Dep. Reeve Mac- Pherson opposing.
